Scientists have developed a new fluorogenic probe, or “smart drug”, that can be used to detect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reactions. The probe is a fluorescent molecule that is activated by an enzyme specific to ELISA reactions, allowing researchers to quickly and easily detect the presence of an enzyme linked to a particular protein. This new fluorogenic probe could have a wide range of applications in medical diagnostics, drug development, and other research areas. The probe could be used to detect proteins involved in diseases, such as cancer, and to monitor the effectiveness of drugs.
